We are in the thick of summer and that means you’ve probably already switched out your spring beauty products for your summer ones. Whether you are a minimalist like me and keep it simple with a skin care routine and a dash of make-up, or you’re a full-blown beauty mogul, here are all of the trending and my favorite summer beauty product must-haves!

Cleanser – A good cleanser like Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser melts away dirt, oil and makeup. It tones and lightly hydrates in one simple step for skin that feels clean and comfortably balanced. Don’t forget to leave your cleanser on for a decent amount of time before rinsing off, at least 60 seconds.

Moisturizer – One should use a moisturizer year-round, but with the increased amount of sun exposure, summer calls for extra moisturizer hydration! Elemis Superfood is a good product to use and mixes well with Drunk Elephant sunshine drops for a healthy glow, even if you’re not using any make-up. If there’s one thing I wish I started sooner in life, it would be moisturizing my face and neck areas.

Exfoliate – This has to be my favorite part of my beauty routine! I love the feeling of a good exfoliation happening on my skin. Knowing that I am getting all of the dead cells off, especially after a full day of summer sun… ahhhhh I can feel the feeling now! Tree Hut hydrating sugar face scrub has a great line of products and oooohhhh those summer scents!

SerumGood Molecules daily brightening serum helps to maintain a bright, even-toned complexion with the ingredients working to gently brighten skin and promote a healthy, youthful complexion. I use my serum post shower, exfoliation, and cleansing.

Under-Eye Mask – This is one of my top five favorite type of beauty products. I have 4 young kids, and I am a migraine sufferer…so these give me life! I love using them the morning after a migraine attack because they have caffeine in them, and it just makes my under-eye area not look like I just went through it the night before. Good Molecules caffeine energizing hydro-gel eye patches are where it’s at!

Lip Exfoliation – I literally just learned about lip exfoliation this year – I never knew there was such a thing but I am on board and LOVE it! Your lips need just as much love as your facial skin, and it makes sense as your lips can dry out and crack just like your skin! FLOWER Beauty by Drew petal pout lip scrub is the first ticket to a perfect pout!

Lip Mask – Right after exfoliating my lippies, I reach for my overnight lip mask, and I am obsessed! Lip masks are super rehydrating and leave lips feeling smoother and just nicer overall. I will even put it on before leaving the house as a nice little pop of gloss, and mine smells divine! FLOWER Beauty by Drew petal pout lip mask again for the win.

Concealer NARS radiant creamy concealer corrects, contours, highlights, and lasts up to 16 hours…I would give it a good 8 hours in the summer months. Use it for under your eyes and above the gap between your eyebrows. It’s creamy and blends very nice.

Foundation24 hour coverage L’Oreal infallible fresh wear with built in sunscreen gives just enough matte, which is a summer 2023 look vs the old shine look, but not too dewy and stays intact without getting that glare look at the end of the day.

BronzerTower 28 Beauty Bronzino Illuminating Cream Bronzer adds instant warmth and a subtle shimmer and Tower 28 Beauty Sculptino Soft Matte Cream Contour + Bronzer can shape and sculpt your face with a blendable texture and neutral undertones – use one for day and one for night!

Highlighter Tower 28 Beauty SuperDew shimmer-free balm is a highlighter that gives a bit of a wet look with a natural glow, but without the glitter. Blend on the bridge of the nose and a dash above the brows.

Setting SprayE.L.F Dewy Coconut setting mist first off just smells like summer – got me wanting a pina-colada – and secondly, it helps give your makeup lasting power for those long summer days and nights.

Mascara – Does anyone else feel naked without mascara on?! During the summer months a waterproof mascara is clutch, and this L’Oreal Telescopic original waterproof mascara enhances your lashes with length and definition all while keeping it lightweight.

Blush – Pink and peach color tones, cream or powder, it doesn’t matter…they are all in for the summer months. The matte look is preferred again with the beauty product, so this Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand is what you’re looking for…just dot and blend.

Self-Tanner – Grab your trusty mitten and also a foundation brush for your elbows, wrists, ankles and knees to buff out and give you more control – it helps with product buildup in those particularly dryer areas. If you’re looking for a bronzed bod before vacay or prefer to not to lay out, this St. Tropez self-tan kit is your ticket to a beautiful, sun-kissed look.

Tinted Moisturizer – I LOVE a tinted moisturizer, it’s definitely my go-to! IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 offers coverage, hydration and SPF protection with a nice matte finish. Sometimes all I need is this, mascara and out the door I go!

Lip Stain – Glossy to be exact! Fenty Beauty by Rhianna poutsicle hydrating lip stain is long-lasting and hydrating and a perfect way to finish off a look.

Summer ScentValentino Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy is this summer’s scent, with a fruity floral scent of orange, jasmine and rose; pairs nicely with a summer cocktail or mocktail if you will.

Choosing a vegan lifestyle isn’t just about the food that you consume, it’s about so much more, like the clothing you wear, the cleaning products you keep in your home and the everyday beauty products you use. Maybe you’re like me and aren’t vegan but are conscious about trying to be a mindful consumer – looking more into “eco-friendly” options that have sustainability, are cruelty-free and have fair-trade practices. Trying to sort through all of it and finding beauty products that not only are vegan and cruelty-free but actually work can be time consuming. Here’s what I got to help you out with that!

Summer is right around the corner, but if you’re looking to get that sun-kissed look now or on the off-season, check out this self-tanner which comes with a glove and rubs in nice without the streaky look. You glow girl mist by b.tan gives just enough color; recommended use after cleaning your face and neck.

Forget about whitening strips for those chompers, check out pearly girl vegan teeth whitening pen by Tarte. Compared to other whitening kits, it’s so easy, quick for on-the-go use and very well priced.

Rosy cheeks for days you say? Well then you have to check out Wet n Wild’s mega-glo blush – it gives off a dewy fresh look as well as being versatile, meaning that you can use it as an eye shadow and on your lippies too!

Bronzed is best! I love a good bronzer and this NARS Laguna brozing powder came highly recommended for it’s compactness…so toss in a bag and head out for the night. Palladio baked bronzer is sheer feeling with just the right pigment. Both bronzers are perfect consistency leaving a natural glow as opposed to the fake orange tan.

Foundation is a hard code to crack when it comes to getting the correct tone, but word on the street is that Wet n Wild foundation is where it’s at. No “cakey” feeling with long-lasting coverage and you can’t beat the price point.

NYX has some great products like their Epic Wear waterproof eyeliner. The small applicator can give more control when applying. Born to Glow highlighting palette that doubles as eye shadow, blush and highlighter has good pigment and a lovely shimmer!

Conceal-er and carry…these concealers are the ones to get! Beauty Blenders Bounce airbrush liquid whip concealer gives good coverage all while not giving a heavy or dry feel. Wet n Wild mega-last Incognito all day full coverage concealer has good color options to choose from and comes at a great price point.

I personally love a good mascara and sometimes that’s all that I’ll wear! Be sure to check out Thrive liquid lash extensions – it gives the appearance of very long lashes, with a lightweight feel, and is very long-wearing. Lights camera action by Tarte is very buildable and has a nice applicator.

Keeping your skin hydrated is important, so this b.fresh from dull to dewy body serum is where it’s at for skin rejuvenation. The scent alone is amazing with a lightweight feel.

CCTM, CC, BB or whatever variation of the cream you use is one of my fav go-to products because if I am in a time crunch, I can throw some on quickly and head out the door. This E.L.F Camo CC cream is a good one and also has SPF if you’re going to be out in the sun – and a quick tip: a little goes a long way with this one!

Last but certainly not least, lets talk hair! Everyone loves when their hair looks and feels good and for that to happen, you want to hydrate and lock moisture in, repair if damaged and of course, protect. These two products will do all of that for you. Bondbar #7 is a concentrate that increases shine, helps with those pesky flyaways and is a heat protectant. Fast Food leave on conditioner, from what I am told, is the best hair moisturizing conditioner that works magic at helping with split-end mending and nourishes lifeless hair, on top of smelling amazing and leaving a nice texture.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve made 2023 the year of self-care for myself, and these products are right up my alley…mama is going shopping! TTFN!

Finding good hair products can definitely be a hassle – not only can it be time consuming, it can also get expensive! We’ve done the hard work for you so you can take our word for it – these hair products are tried-and-true favorites of ours! See some of our go-to hair care below.

Kristy: I splurge on this dry shampoo because it smells sooo good and it actually works for my hair. My hair is thin and most dry shampoos leave me with white powdery hair – but not this one, and it gives me a bit of volume which I could always use. 

Kristy: I’m big on hair products that smell good and work well! This hairspray is one of those products! Again, my hair is thin so I don’t need a lot to keep my hair in place, but I also want to be able to take my hair down and not feel like it’s glued to my head. 

Kristy: I absolutely love this spray for keeping my frizz away and making my hair shiny and soft!! I spray at the roots after the shower and comb through, then blow dry and style as usual! One use lasts me about 3 showers! 

Kristy: After I’ve blow dried my hair, I add a little bit of this bonding oil into my palms and rub throughout my hair before flat ironing or curling! 

Faith: I have pretty wavy hair that needs a lot of help in the moisture department. This leave-in conditioner does wonders for my locks – it gives me volume and definition without weighing down my hair!

Krista: I love Verb Products for my hair. I have very thin, fine and frizzy hair, these products are perfect. They don’t weigh my hair down and allow it to have some volume along with controlling the frizz! The best part? They all cost around $20!!

They hairspray holds perfectly without weighing anything down!

I LOVE the dry oil spray. I use it as a finishing spray, or as a spruce-up spray for those dirty hair days! 

The volume dry texture spray helps give that volume, especially when you want to curl or wave your hair! 

I use the ghost oil to protect my hair before blow drying (it has a heat protectant in it) and I use it to finish off with controlling the frizz! 

If you want volume, you need the dry shampoo powder. Not only does it work wonders on dirty hair days, I’ll also add it to fresh clean hair for the extra va-va-voom look! 

Once a week I’ll use the scalp exfoliating treatment. Rub it in your scalp and let it sit for ten minutes…it helps clear out all the buildup, control frizz, and it contains biotin to help hair growth! Don’t forget – good hair starts at the scalp! 

Kristy: **MAJOR SPLURGE ALERT** I’m creeping on 40 and my hormones have been going crazy…and with that so does my hair…it’s been thinning and goes through a lot, so having a good shampoo/conditioner has been a priority of mine. This shampoo has now lasted me about 2 months and still have so much left and it has been working wonders on my hair. It feels healthy, it smells amazing and it’s been falling out less!! There is a nice sampler if you wanted to try it before splurging on the big bottles – it’s what got me hooked!

Finding good hair products can definitely be a hassle – not only can it be time consuming, it can also get expensive! We’ve done the hard work for you so you can take our word for it – these hair products are tried-and-true favorites of ours! See some of our go-to hair care below.

Kristy: I splurge on this dry shampoo because it smells sooo good and it actually works for my hair. My hair is thin and most dry shampoos leave me with white powdery hair – but not this one, and it gives me a bit of volume which I could always use. 

Kristy: I’m big on hair products that smell good and work well! This hairspray is one of those products! Again, my hair is thin so I don’t need a lot to keep my hair in place, but I also want to be able to take my hair down and not feel like it’s glued to my head. 

Kristy: I absolutely love this spray for keeping my frizz away and making my hair shiny and soft!! I spray at the roots after the shower and comb through, then blow dry and style as usual! One use lasts me about 3 showers! 

Kristy: After I’ve blow dried my hair, I add a little bit of this bonding oil into my palms and rub throughout my hair before flat ironing or curling! 

Faith: I have pretty wavy hair that needs a lot of help in the moisture department. This leave-in conditioner does wonders for my locks – it gives me volume and definition without weighing down my hair!

Krista: I love Verb Products for my hair. I have very thin, fine and frizzy hair, these products are perfect. They don’t weigh my hair down and allow it to have some volume along with controlling the frizz! The best part? They all cost around $20!!

They hairspray holds perfectly without weighing anything down!

I LOVE the dry oil spray. I use it as a finishing spray, or as a spruce-up spray for those dirty hair days! 

The volume dry texture spray helps give that volume, especially when you want to curl or wave your hair! 

I use the ghost oil to protect my hair before blow drying (it has a heat protectant in it) and I use it to finish off with controlling the frizz! 

If you want volume, you need the dry shampoo powder. Not only does it work wonders on dirty hair days, I’ll also add it to fresh clean hair for the extra va-va-voom look!
